Navajo Fry Bread *Taste and Create*


The Taste and Create event is an event I try not to miss because if not for this..I would never have made a Navajo Bread. This month I was paired with Brooke of Victuals and Libations.
Amongst all her recipes, this is what I wanted to try the most.

For the history on the Navajo Bread, read this wonderful piece.

Recipe adapted from here

1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon powdered milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup water
Oil for frying


Sift flour, salt, powdered milk, and baking powder. Stir in water and mix this to form a clump. Using your hands, without kneading make a dough that is sticky yet pliable. Flour your hands and cut the dough into four pieces. Shape and stretch each piece into a disk and set aside.

Heat enough oil for deep frying and fry each disk until they turn brown on either side.
I served some topped with honey and some sprinkled with powdered sugar.



Simple, easy and a very yummy snack and yes you cannot stop with just eating one... Equally loved by the two adults and the child.


Curious on what's in the oven this time? See what we have in store for you this time
